I am having a lot of trouble tackling ones with all 2's. User puzzles #59, 26, 15 are three such puzzles. Does anyone have tips on solving these ones? Usually I have to make a guess which starts unraveling the puzzle but usually ends unfavourably. |

I think 6x6 is already enough for human so I make #22 and with devilish rating. So if you see a puzzle with mainly 2's, ignore is the best choice, just a bug formed by a rule made by a human. So if a difficult puzzle by using rules other then close loop rule is made, it should be a very great puzzle!
#56: It's easy if you assume this puzzle's solution is unique, it's hard if you want to prove for its uniqueness.
#15: where is it? |

blivrail Kwon-Tom Obsessive Puzzles: 565 Best Total: 19m 12s | Posted - 2007.05.12 08:16:19 Jankonyex, can you describe what is the "closed-loop rule" you are referring to? I can guess it has got to do with not closing a loop too early... is there anything more to elaborate?
Thanks again. |
